Digital Scale & Suphra

Restaurant software Suphra can be directly connected to an electronic digital scale via a USB port. This software now can get weight directly from a digital scale.

Nowadays people usually use scales that can print barcodes on stickers (these kinds of scales are being sold in Georgia by SOT CO). The assistant attaches the sticker to the product and the cashier scans the code using a barcode reader to put it in retail software. This kind of scale requires a product list and some configuration before use. They are useful in supermarkets, whereas in small catering objects they're useless because weightings are to be done by the cashier.

The Suphra team has recently created a cheap solution for small businesses that need a digital scale to sell food by weight. The project includes connecting the most popular cheap scales to Suphra software. These kinds of scales (e.g ACS-A9LE) are shown in the picture below:

This kind of scale cost about 15-20 USD in Georgia. We connect scales to PC using a small device. The total price of connecting a scale to Suphra is between 100-150 USD. It's easy to use - you just select a product from the menu and the weight is directly shown up in the input field when you put products on the scale.
